This question was as if she had asked him in the kitchen if he liked Yanis.
Nathan’s ears immediately turned red, and then he asked the waiter for the menu.
It was impossible for Yanis at this moment to ask for the menu, so Nathan borrowed something to warm up without asking her, and then handed the menu back to the waiter.
After the waiter left, Nathan discovered that Yanis was still staring at him, whose gaze was straight, and her eyes looked red and swollen from crying, then she looked very poor.
-You haven’t answered my question yet.
She said stubbornly.
Nathan was speechless.
After a moment of silence, she explained in a low voice, “We are acquaintances. If one day you see someone you know walking down the street crying, won’t you be worried at all?
Hearing his explanation, Yanis believed he was right. He nodded his head and then said, -It turns out that this is the case, then it’s okay… I thought… you like me.
Nathan’s hand movement stopped and he looked at her.
Yanis did not look at him again, but lowered her eyes to look at the table.
-If you say you like me again, I will definitely reject you.
Nathan felt nervous and the red in his eyes faded.
Unfortunately, unaware of the changes in her mood and behavior, Yanis was still saying to herself, “If you really liked me and I rejected you, you would definitely become very sad, like me now, sad and ashamed.
Nathan understood important information from her words and narrowed his eyes slightly.
-Like you now?
-Yes, I was rejected a moment ago,” Yanis raised her head and deliberately gave Nathan a big smile. Does my appearance now seem very bad? You have seen what happened to me. It feels bad to be rejected, especially when you still like the other person.
For a moment Nathan could not express his current mood.
He did not know what had happened to her, and only stepped forward anxiously to comfort her. But it turned out that since he was inexperienced, he could not say a word of comfort when he arrived.
Now…
Suddenly she learned that she had been turned down – who was it?
-So, fortunately, you only consider me a friend. If you liked me, you would become as miserable as I am….
After he had spoken, Yanis unexpectedly laughed happily.
Nathan felt a little indescribable, the hand that was previously placed on the table also moved silently under the table and placed it in his lap. He did not even notice that his hand had gradually closed into a fist.
Judging by her appearance, she didn’t seem to have just fallen in love with him, but to love him deeply.
-How long does it last?
Nathan heard his own voice asking her.
-Nathan heard his own voice ask her. -It seemed that Yanis did not understand what he had asked.
Nathan smiled slightly, “How long have you liked this person?
Yanis looked drunk. She lowered her head and started counting fingers, whose pretty face made her want to hug her.
After counting for a long time, Yanis raised her head and said anxiously, “Almost four years.
When Nathan heard this, he pursed his lips inexplicably.
-Four years?
He counted the days carefully, and discovered that he had liked Yanis, almost six years.
Time passed too fast unexpectedly.
Time passed each day without stopping. If he had not counted carefully, it would have really felt like things seemed to happen yesterday or a long time ago. Nathan’s thoughts were in a trance.
-Yes, four years! -Yanis nodded his head vigorously, “A long time, isn’t it? I never thought I could like you for so long, it’s been four years now….
He crooked his finger to count and said, -How many years of youth are these, four years of youth!
Nathan thought.
“I’ve liked you for a long time.”
Although he himself did not know why he fell in love with Yanis, this feeling was inexplicable, but it really moved him at that moment.
Since Nathan had been working with Kennedy, all his time had been devoted to work. When he had time, he was too tired to look for a girlfriend. Although his parents had rushed him, he himself was willing to be lonely.
After all, to him, Kennedy was so important that he sacrificed his life.
If it had not been Kennedy who lent him a hand at that moment, he might have been in a desperate situation still, or he would have died, and even his family, destroyed.
Then, upon discovering that he had feelings for Yanis, Nathan was distressed for a moment and quickly hid his thoughts deep in his heart for many years.
When he saw her in front of him again, the hidden feelings began to surface.
Later, as they saw each other and remembered each other many times, his emotions began to grow.
Thinking about this, Nathan raised his eyes and looked at Yanis again.
If at this moment he told her that he liked her, would she accept it?
But in this case if he did, wouldn’t he be taking advantage of her difficulty?
The fist resting on the leg tightened and finally loosened.
Well, at this moment, saying like this, wouldn’t it be unfair to both of them?
Since she was rejected, it was better that he waited for her to sort out her feelings, and when she stopped loving him with an empty heart, he would find a means by which to let her into his heart.
Unfortunately, her appearance now…
She didn’t know if she could get Yanis’ love, but if she didn’t try, no one knew the consequences.
Later, when the waiter was serving dishes, Yanis suddenly asked him for alcohol.
The waiter was stunned for a moment and then looked at Nathan.
Nathan stopped her immediately.
-You have been in the cold wind for so long. Drinking alcohol is not good for your stomach. You have to drink something warm before you eat.
-No.
Yanis shook his head, “I want to drink now.
After that, he looked at Nathan, “You don’t know… how bad I feel right now.
Nathan answered, -… If you drink, your stomach will feel uncomfortable and then you will feel even worse.
-It doesn’t matter, I just want to drink it. Nathan, aren’t you my friend? Just listen to me this once?
Friend…
Nathan felt helpless, was this a trap he had dug for himself? If he had known, he would not have said they were friends. Now he was always putting him on the spot under the pretext of being friends.
Just as Nathan was about to speak again, Yanis made a pleading action, -Please, I only drink once!
“Only drink once?
Once is not enough?”
-And, since I’m very cold, don’t you know that drinking also helps me warm up?
What he said was right, then, Nathan was speechless, and could only nod his head, -Well… you can only drink a little, and you have to eat something first.
Yanis agreed quickly.
Soon the alcohol was poured, but Nathan could not stop her.
She ate a little obediently first, but drank so much that in the end her face turned all red and she was so drunk that she started to talk like a madwoman.
Nathan began to regret that he had agreed to let her drink.
